Quality of teaching / language progress: It is a matter of luck which teacher you take lessons from. So I averaged between the two in the rating. One would have received 5/5 (enjoys teaching, action-oriented, responds to the current learning status), the other 1/5 (bored, plays with the cell phone during class, does not pay attention to mistakes and does not correct them)
